Lead-based Paint Inspection, Risk Assessment,
& Abatement Management

Lead is a known carcinogen linked to severe health risks for children. Painted surfaces of older homes and structures may contain lead and are therefore classified as a potential risk.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires individuals conducting lead-based paint detection activities (abatement, inspection, and risk assessment) in target housing and child-occupied facilities to be trained and certified. The trainers are accredited to ensure quality, and certified individuals must follow specific work practices ensuring that lead hazards are addressed. TCGI is an EPA licensed lead-based paint consulting firm with EPA licensed lead-based paint inspectors and risk assessors.

The TCGI staff has inspected thousands of HUD-regulated homes and facilities with over a decade of experience in lead-based paint consulting services including testing, risk assessment and abatement monitoring and management. TCGI owns and utilizes x-ray fluorescence detectors for on-site analysis of lead-based paint (NITON XL). The NITON XL is considered one of the most accurate instruments on the market. TCGI also utilizes AIHA-accredited lead laboratories for all off-site analysis and clearance testing.

If an existing structure on a property is to be renovated or demolished for a new project or if a multi-unit property is being purchased, TCGI is certified to perform the necessary lead-based paint inspection surveys. Determination of lead content is an important consideration when developing project cost estimates associated with demolition, renovation, and debris disposal. TCGI is focused on providing the most cost-effective environmental solutions for the management of client's lead risk.

About Lead Risks and Exposure
Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around homes. Lead may cause a range of health effects, from behavioral and learning disabilities, to seizures and deaths. Children 6 years old and under and pregnant women are most at risk. The developing fetus can be adversely affected by lead exposure to the mother. Young children are affected since their bodies and organs have not fully developed. Lead is a neurotoxin affecting every organ system in the body.
